Hm. Well I've been playing a lot of FFIV Advance recently, and a decent amount of Diablo II, too (I'm on ladder now if anybody wants to play sometime. DiCesare is my account).

However, SSBM has been my main focus over the past while. I have gotten incredibly good with Bowser now and I've even entered tourneys with him and done very well. I love going into tourneys and using Bowser, beating a particularly good Marth or Fox and then just watching as everybody stares in disbelief as I KO him time and time again in a single combo. My last tournement, everybody applauded for me after a very close match I lost against a Marth. Hahaha.

Okay new lineup:
World of Warcraft (Hit 50 today and just grinding and such)
Mario Kart DS (Doing as many cups as possible and will soon have wifi setup)

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner: Naoh Itoh

Long title, I know, but I'm going for the long haul this time. I lost my previous save file that was on its way to powerplay. Already this new file I'm on has passed it in every way.

Shin Megami Tensei II

Currently on hold in the final dungeon. Like a moron I cheated max stats without realizing that leveling up prompts a screen which cannot be left without alloting stat bonuses to [an already loaded] grid. Until I hack the experience to refute leveling up, I might revert to an actual save file instead of a savestate.

Xenogears

Currently in backseat. I tried continuing it, but I got lost in a dungeon by not knowing whether I activated an event switch or not. This current save file is my second and *perfect* playthrough.

I'm replaying Wild ARMs 4, and I probably should get on some of the other PSX games I've bought but haven't tried to beat all the way through yet. Game's not as good as WA3, I'd say, but it's got its own vibe and I can dig it. I wish the world map weren't flat, though. WA3's exploration parts cultivated difficulty and fun, and just walking along the dots a la FFX is a step down. =/

FFIV Advance because I need to finish Edge and Kain's Lunar challenges. Any tips for Kain's? That Lunar Bahamut is very hard.

Mario RPG is a Rom that I just got. The music is catchy and the gameplay is fun. Mario and Mallow are at level 7 and are talking to Frogfucious.

--------------------

Dead Winter. A nice comic.

Currently playing the extra levels on the GBA version of DOOM II i cannot get past the icon of sin Does any1 now how?

Currently playing secert of evermore. I got it in an online auction and just beat thraxx.

Earthbound Zero is almost done (I'm at Mt. Itoi), and I'm currently playing the patched up ROM of Fire Emblem Sword of
Seals.

[EDIT]Bigfootmike, the technique is handy, but it came a bit late. All I have to do in the game is finish Edge's mission and beat Brachradious and Zeromus EG.

Dead Winter. A nice comic.

Final Fantasy 5, Final Fantasy 4A (Almost done, just need Edge and the TWins challenge and i'm done), and Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages.

BarryLocke, jump just as his timer goes to two. You'll then get into a long but easy routine.

just picked up Final Fantasy Tactics again. i'm also playing a ROM of FFV.

moé in the streets, senpai in the sheets

I have had no interest lately on playing non-FF games as Smackdown vs. Raw, MK: Deception and others have been relatively un-touched in a while. Lately, I've been primarily playing FFT and FFVII. I'm debating on myself whether or not I should resume my games on FFI or FFII from Origins...

i also started playing radiata stories, which is really fun, even though some of the battle voices get annoying...

"The answer is, of course, that it would be best to be both loved and feared. But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved."
- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

Guilty Gear Isuka : I have always been a fan of Guilty Gear, but in this sequel, they added a notable twist, four players, and you actually have to manually turn around. Which hurts this game, if you get used to it, though, it still is lots of fun .

Shadow Of The Colossus : I have finally picked up this game and, I gotta say, it blew me away, the game has a surprising plot twist in the end.

--------------------

"...But we will succeed. We pride ourselves in making the impossible possible."

Im kinda stuck. I don't know if I want to play Star Ocean 2 (again), FFVI (again), or Legend of Dragoon (again). Also, my friend loaned to me Star Wars: KOTOR.

Im in a pickle... mmm... pickles are good...

Well I was trying to play Tales of Legendia and Grandia III at the same time, but I find I can't get into either of them, so I am sticking with just one at a time.

Grandia III it is. Awesome game.

--------------------

I'm not buyin' anythin'!

lets see:

World of Warcraft (Hit 53 just doing grinding and BG)
Shadow the Hedgehog (Beat Devil Doom and just playing now for fun)

I'm currently on Final Fantasy X, and I'm just after the Camlm Lands, trying to get enough GIl to get Yojimbo. I only need like 50000 more, so I'm in the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth fighting those nasties for money.

THen I'm also on Legend of Mana.

final fantasy IV
final fantasy V
golden sun: the lost age (completed! yes!!)
age of empires III
golden sun (completed butt still playing)
call of duty 2 (completed butt still playing)
final fantasy I (completed butt still playing)
final fantasy II (still not completed)
kingdom hearts : chaine of memories (still not completed)

i think that's it... for now

They may be monsters, but they're sea monsters. What're they gonna do? Flop around on deck and suffocate at us threateningly?

I'm getting back into Disgaea, finally finishing it two weekends ago. Now I'm trying to powerlevel a bit to beat some of the postgame, and I'm just marvelling at how wonderfully hardcore and fun this game is. Once I get bored I'll probably start up La Pucelle: Tactics.

I'm getting back into the Dragon Quest VI rom I downloaded ages ago, and it's coming along decently. It's way more similar to DW VII than to others in the series, which is good or bad, I guess, depending on preferences. I still think that IV and VIII are the best in the series.

All of the Mother 3 talk I've been hearing inspired me to finally download a translated rom of the NES original. I've played the game for maybe ten hours over two weeks, and it seems like I'm almost finished. This is either a very short game or it's very good at disguising how long it actually is.

I started Shadow of the Colossus two weekends ago, and I finished it in two days. It is a really short game, but oh man is it awesome. The game is sort of like Ico, which I really liked, but with better controls, more original and entertaining mechanics, and absolutely beautiful visuals and scale. Now I can't decide whether this baby, RE 4, DQ VIII, GoW, or DMC 3 is the best game of 2005. They're all so good.

Edit

I forgot about Resi Evil 4 when I wrote the last two sentences, so I put it in. Of those five games, I've definitely played RE 4 the least, but I can understand why everyone loves it so much. From what I could tell, most if not all of the hype it's received is well-deserved.

this is a blog mostly about comics and videogames
END SPOILER

PC: Black and White 1, until I get a new graphics card for 2,
GTA: Vice City

PS2: GTA: San Andreas, decided to start again, as I often do.
THUG2,
Harvest Moon, I'ts a wonderful Life SPECIAL EDITION!!!, I didn't even know this existed, so I bought it, as I do not have a gamecube.

PS1: FF8, FF4&5, too scared to start FF7 (sounds weird right? I don't know why either. I think I'm craving for a guide deep down, as I like to collect the guides for my games. I have the guides for 9, 10, and 10-2, but not 7 or 8, as I got them too late after release for the guides , I want them too...)

SNES: not much at the moment, but the odd pinch of this great Mario compilation cart

I want to get the old consoles, and games, and guides. Too bad I wasn't born in Japan in 1979, that way I wouldn't miss much, and I'd get to eat a lot more sushi...

Also I'm poor.

So how are you?

--------------------

The frosty one.

I finally picked up Shadow of the Colossus today, and so far, it's marvellous. It kinda throws you right into the first Colossus, and to that extent, I found it kinda disconcerting, but when I figured out what I was meant to be doing, well, I can't remember the last time I've had so much fun in a game. It's suprisingly exciting, being tossed around and scrambling for the weak point, and in terms of how rewarding it is, it's unparallelled, but my favourite aspect is definitely figuring out just what needs to be done so you can start your ascent. Just the scale of it is jaw-dropping, really.

That's funny.
I was actually just trying to decide whether to buy Legendia or Grandia III. I've pretty much decided on Grandia, but I'd like to know a little more.
Anyone can see that its incredibly gorgeous, but how does it all stack up? Is it really as short as the reviews say? How's the fun factor and difficulty? Bonus dungeons? Sidequests?

Thanks for anything you can tell me.

Playing FFIX now, just so I don't waste all my free time sitting around, and then I bought Wild ARMs 2 today, so I'll probably be kicking that around and seeing if it's as good as the WA fans have been saying it is. Only completed two-thirds of the prologues so far.

--------------------

It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck can change

I'm currently playing the following:

Breath of Fire - I had beaten the game before, but because I can't remember what happens at the end of the game, I'm replaying it. I'm not too far into it, although I've been playing for numerous hours so far, but it's made me want to play II - IV whenever I get the chance to do so.

Front Mission 4 - I keep putting it off, mainly because each mission takes so long to complete, and because I tend to do the simulations a lot between each mission to make sure that I'm able to beat the next one (since I don't want to get 40 minutes into a mission then die, having to redo it over); but it's still a good game. The plot lacks a little, but the typical tactical-rpg battle system is still always fun.

Final Fantasy X - Beat the game before. Replaying it to actually "complete" the game. I've already got all of the hidden Aeons and almost maxed out the Sphere Grid for each character, but I have yet to complete the Butterfly mini-game for Kimahri's Sigil (only Celestial Weapon I have left to get his his and I can't beat that damn thing...). I also am working on getting 10 of each monster in the Monster Arena because I want to fight Nemesis (and hopefully beat him).

Xenosaga Episode II - Just doing the Epilogue stuff. I quit playing for a bit because the game was lagging, but now that I've fixed the problem I've started to play it once again.

I've been playin Most Wanted, so much fun up in the latest Need For Speed game. So far my fav car is the Lamborghini Gallardo!

--------------------

PS3 tag: TipoDLuffy

"...quite possibly the greatest game ever made"

I'm currently playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for the DS. This game is INCREDIBLE. I know its not quite what I expected. A lawyer game? Er, okay...

But it is SO much fun. Is it the music or the way Phoenix points and yells "Take that!" as he nails Edgeworth with that critical point of the case? I dunno, but it works. Buy it. I promise, you wont be diappointed.

I've wanted to get that game! It looks like alot of fun, since I'm a Law & Order addict. Well, I want to get a DS, but still...

There seem to be alot of really great games for DS. That's good...

I'm doing all the side-quests in FFX now, abusing the Don Tonberry trick to get over a million AP a battle (I'm running out of Power Spheres...)

I stopped playing Radiata Stories, I need to start up again. I didn't get very far anyway

And I still can't beat Freya on SO3. The retarded shopkeepers refuse to sell any more Shielding Devices or Healing Device Mk2s. I guess I'll just start cranking them out with Meryl, though buying them would be alot more convenient.

And, an old favorite, FFIV. I never got through the Chronicles version, since I got side-tracked by Advance, but I just love that game so much I'll do yet another play-through

The wonder of RPGs...
